We all can't afford two 40"s..
Factory roll barYeah I tough of that but the price of reproduction bows + the import is a lot of money just to put a bikini over it. A much simpler set of bows should be enough for a bikini.
Other solution would be to find OEM bows for a 43 and only use B pillar or shorten them but I would be a bit a shame to do that to an original set only to put a bikini on top. (43 are common over here and all softtop, 40 on the other hand were only available with hardtop so no used bows on the market)
Here we're talking !
How your "rollbar" is installed on the tub ? It's homemade ?
Who has the best garage hoist system for a true one man job?

I use this Racor lift I bought from Amazon. No help needed.

@Living in the Past .....you definitely need one of those 40s to be topless.
Plan is to do something with this one I've been sitting on for twenty six years.

Getting the Kayline top off the factory bows is not as easy as some aftermarket tops but am still able to do it by myself.
So when I stop for a beer run no one steals my gym bag/ back pack
When I used to take mine off I always did it myself and I did it by lifting the top off on my shoulders. I would use a hill, drop the tail gate and remove the lift gate so it was easier to just walk it off and then carry it wherever I was storing it in the yard. Young, stubborn and impatient! Now I have a garage and just drive it for fun and errands when warm so it is full length bikini top and no doors all the time. Lots of waves from the jeeps but who cares.

My top hasn't been on in ten + years. Not that hard to do, my wife and I used to do it.
Topless is one of the reasons I bought it in the first place.
The dogs seem to like to use the top for shade in the summer.
You absolutely need a bikini too though in the southwest or you fry.
The top & doors never go back on now - I put seat heaters in for when it chilly.
When they say "nice jeep," just respond nicely - "toyota" and smile.
Exactly! The old "stand inside, use your back to lift, scramble with multiple 2X4s" method. Works every time. Better with beers first.Never did it myself. Did do a few times with just one other person. I would get inside and lift the top high enough to put 2X4s on the sides. Then we each would pick up a side. Last time I did this way the 2X4 fell out and end landed on my big toe. That toe nail has never grown back right since. Should have had on steel toe shoes not tennis shoes.
